The Atrium: Flow Patterns - Sculptures by Bar Shacterman, Prints by Mary Curtis Ratcliff.

Review by RWM: Appreciate the process of creating art here. Bar Shacterman's sculptures come to life and a video showcases his artistic process. Solid colors perpetuate somber moods in these structures that exude life and spirit, even if only made of clay.

Comment by AB: Also enjoy earthy digital/photography blends by Mary Curtis Ratcliff.

California Academy of Sciences: NightLife.

Comment by AB: NightLife is a weekly evening event where you get to partake of all the pleasures of the Academy in a relaxed party-like nightclub atmosphere. No better way to enjoy a museum than this. I like it!
